For example: new movie announcements, celebrity news, award ceremony news, award ceremony results, film festival news, film festival reports, official blockbuster charts and anything that is newsworthy. What is newsworthy will be up to the moderator's judgment. Moderators: This newsgroup is being moderated by a team of moderators, with Colin Needham <cn@ibmpcug.co.uk> as the coordinator. For article submission, send email to <rama@ibmpcug.co.uk>. For questions about articles submitted, clarification of the guidelines and other group related messages, send email to <rama-request@ibmpcug.co.uk>. rec.arts.movies.current-films This newsgroup is for discussing the contents (plots, quality, meanings, goofs etc.) of movies that have been released recently and also for discussing upcoming movies (movies in production or not released yet for other reasons). Any films that are currently showing at a first-run theater somewhere in the world should be considered to be current films. This would mean that Americans who have just rented a US film from the "New Releases" section in a video store should post their comments to rec.arts.movies.current-films because the film may still be in-release in Europe and Asia. The rule of thumb to use is : "A film is still current if it is within 1.5 to 2 years after its world premiere." rec.arts.movies.past-films This newsgroup is for discussing the contents (plots, quality, meanings, goofs etc.) of movies that are more than a couple of years old. This means all the old classics, all the old non-classics, from Casablanca to Blade Runner, from His Girl Friday to Die Hard, from Back to the Future :), from Psycho to The Godfather. In other words any movie that hasn't been released in the last couple of years. rec.arts.movies.reviews [moderated] This is a low volume newsgroup where formal reviews of movies are regularly posted.
